Does the author of the study think women are immune to this? Is the author a man hater? Regardless of sex, people can be real disgusting, heartheart idiots. Why start a thread about the obvious, because a study states the obvious. Another useless filler piece, this is more fit for the NY Post than the Washington Post.

If I could give you a 1000 reputation points I would. Misandry of course. Forget that men keep the infrastructure running in this country, do all the hard labor and maintenance in any aspect of general living, basically invented everything that is useful.

Did we really need a study to verify what this study is trying to prove?

In other news, real life has shown that being an idiot is not limited to one gender.

Most appear to have not read the link. Misandry from the media? Please. It's just another POORLY TITLED opinion piece to get attention.

After all, I'm sure it was a mix of genders who decided to waste money on this 'research'.
A male MIT student conducted this research. FYI- It was a literature review about risk taking.

I don't think anyone "forgets" this but you seem to have forgotten the CONDITIONS there things happened under. ie, it's difficult to contribute much to society when society keeps you uneducated, made to breed, and unable to vote until less than 100 years ago compared to about 250 yrs of males voting.

And i would hesitate to take credit for the "hard labor." What do you think most women did all day with 5-10 kids to watch? If you are talking about "lifting things up and putting them down," no worries, this will all be automated soon.

It's a poorly titled MISANDRIC opinion piece to get attention, just as it would be misogynistic if it were about women. I'm sure people would have pointed that out if it were titled ''Study says women can really be idiots''.

Does texting like a fool while driving on one of our area's busiest roads count (head up, down, up, down)? Because I noticed two twits doing that just this afternoon. Haven't heard of texting moms running stop signs while their poor babies are strapped in the back seat? We have around here because the results were disastrous.

I know that hating men is all the rage for some, but I'm here to tell you that they're not the only ones who can be...airheads. Not by a long shot.
